U.S. Justice Department assembles force to shield against foreign AI threats

The DOJ's new Super Intelligence Task Force will complement the existing SI Force led by Jay Clayton, following President Trump's directive to call AI "super intelligence" or SI. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the unit will ensure SI technologies are not manipulated by bad actors at home or abroad and will prosecute unlawful uses targeting taxpayers, critical infrastructure, or national security. Authorities will target state-sponsored actors, transnational criminal organizations, and corporate fraud, while monitoring whether companies using AI maintain vigorous internal controls. The article notes the White House crypto policy office has gone vacant and Clayton's AI czar role no longer includes a crypto remit.
